I'm not a "people" person

If you always feel that towards other people, I think you're having trust issues? I'm not sure though but I suggest you consult to someone who can help you not to feel that way. There's nothing wrong in seeking help from somebody who knows a lot about this.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. I am also almost 30 and I cannot stand people. I can say I have 2 really good friends simply because I do not trust other people to not hurt me. I have a hard time talking to people in general and too often people get on my nerves during a conversation. It is normal.

I don't like people, at all really, I get irritated by them easily, I'm content with just my husband and I and would rather not have to deal with people. Ive never been a people person, I'm shy and I've been hurt time and time again so it's just been eaiser not to get close to many. So obviously I don't think there is anything wrong with you. :) your an introvert and that is great, a lot of people depend on others to much and cant seem to get past the school days of being popular and some have to be in groups to be happy and cannot stand being alone, personally I'd rather be content being by my self then be miserable in a group Or be miserable alone. I have said many times that I'd LOVE where I live, if it weren't for the people.

You're not the only one. I myself is not a people person too. I think it depends in ones personality and also in our experiences. When we grow old, the views that we had will change. There are some people who do have friends within his circle, I mean.He's the one who chose her friends. What's not normal is that you don't have any friend in this world.

I think it has something happened in your life led to this change, so I advise you not to give in your desire in isolation and try to go back as you slowly and try to integrate into society, and if you can not so it must ask for help from a doctor

hey blaqwynter! first up, what matters is what youre comfortable in. If youre more comfortable being alone most of the time, so be it. Its no use trying to socialize a lot when it wont feel like your in your own skin. Although I think you should also learn how to get a long with other people just for those emergency cases during work or family gatherings.If you want to socialize but are just afraid to get hurt, remember, getting hurt is a normal process in life. You just have to take risks. Anyway, hope everything works out for you! Good luck!

The way I see it, sensitive people can get badly hurt by life, and if they are highly intelligent too, well the combination can be highly powerful, and the way I see it, it can cause a person to seek out their own company a lot, to be something of a loner. If you look at a list of some of the most innspired artists in history, many were to a greater or lesser degree, loners, and if anyone is receptive it's the inspired artist. I think it comes down to that receptivity: if you are receptive, mentally, emotionally, or in what other way, life can be hard. In a social world, it's tough for those who incline to like their own company, but when you think about it, shying away from society is not all that uncommon. Many factors can cause a person to withdraw from society; I don't think it's abnormal for anyone to do so. I'm not the most social of individuals myself, however, the relationships I do have are highly precious to me, whether with family; or friends; or online contacts. Sometimes I feel guilty about being a bit of a loner, but I always strive to be nice and fair to people when I meet them in the outside world, and people seem to take to me. This means a lot to me. And although like you I don't socialise very often, I aim for quality rather than quantity. And from that, I hope to work on my social life, to build it up. I love my own company I'll admit it; but I have no intention of stopping there. Much of what is dearest to me comes from others. And I'm going to work on that side of life, the "other" side. I wouldn't worry about not being a people person; not everyone is; not everyone's a born Grade A extrovert. As I say, I think a good idea for those who like me are not great socialisers, is to work on quality of social relationships, rather than quantity.

There is nothing wrong with you, just don't let others get to you so much that you isolate yourself from them totally as you get older. There is always a need for humans to have company around them, no matter how "alone" they like to be. I have also been hurt by alot of people, and in turn have probably unintentially as I got older hurt others too. I have been born with the greatest attitude which sometimes still comes out and I really like people again, but I have seen too much negativity and other things in my life happen for no reason whatsoever so I believe some of my dislike for some people is due to that too. I'm also sensitive and have been known to be that way for the longest time, even as a child.

I believe that it is only consider not normal if it interferes in how you live your life. You have your reasons on not wanting to socialize. I think it is a matter of perspective, if you changed it then you wont have a problem. People do tend to hurt other people's feelings. Learn to cope with them and do not let it get to you. I see you still socialize with us, take it to the next level. Go socialize in small groups, you do not need a crowd to prove you are not anti social. As long as you still know how to communicate with others in the real world I do not think there is a problem with that. I too, is not a people person. I do not like being in large crowd, I only socialize when I need to.

I think that is normal and nothing is wrong with you.Think about your situation,refresh yourself, think how can you do better with other people, try to Understand other people that are around you.Think what you do, think always positive. If you prefer to be alone "most" of the time that's fine,it's your choice but you'll ruin your reputation of socialization(i mean other people will dislike you for being alone) Try to listen to some songs that calms you and determinate you to get better.

This happened to me. To others surprise, I ended up moving out of the city and into the country. This was a very good decision for me. I was diagnosed with OCD when I moved here. I'm not sure if you need professional help or not. I got some and it ended up making a positive difference in my life, if only so I can tell people I have a problem. They have given me more space after that. Sounds like you might have social anxiety. The sad thing about these "tags" or diagnosis' is that we as a culture don't see it how we see physical illness. When I had to be around people, it literally made me feel sick. Like they made me sick, not that I was born sick, or there was something wrong with me. I consider this a phase. I consider myself an aloof person. I feel like when I feel like I've had enough space I might give closer relationships a try again, albeit cautiously.
